Xeon e3-1240V2 memory voltage question

[Shakabutt]

Hy guys, is it safe to keep DDR3 sticks at 1.65 on this proc ?

I have 2 sticks of Kingston 1600 Mhz rated at 1.65, but i can't find any info if the cpu controller is in danger at that voltage.

Or should i keep them at 1333mhz @ 1.5v ?

No, since its out of spec its against warranty and can damage the memory controller.

While it may run fine and never get any issues, its without guarantee.

The datasheet list 1.575V as the max if I recall right.

Is there much of a difference between 1333 and 1600 on discrete graphics ?

 

[ShintaiDK]

Not really.

A bit outdated, but Anandtech did a test with Sandy Bridge.

Oh, then il keep at 1333, not worth the risk, thanks

I have the v3 of that cpu (o/c to 3.8ghz) running with Gskill DDR3-2133 @1.65v neveranottaproblemo since Jan 15
